The State Entomologist also spoke in
favor of Japanese fruit, but stated. that
IN California we can raise better persim-

the European persimmon, haroier tree
to graft on.
Mr.. Wilcox said it might be grated en-

Mr.. Starr, of Lugonia, said the per-
simmon did we'll in the sandy soil OF bis

TUESDAYS SESSION.
The Convention assembled at $3.50 A
NJ, and proceedings were opened by an
address by Prof. c. V. Riley, United
States Entomologist, OF Washington, ID.
C.
Mr.. Riley addressed himself to the
"white scale" Icerya purchase, known
also as the cottony cushion scale, and
the Australian bug, from the fact that it
was first found in that country, from
whence it was carried to New Zealand,
Cape Town, South Africa, and Califor-
MIA. The first specimen received in
Washington was in 1872, sent from San
Francisco. 1t is said to have been intro
duced in California in 1865 by George
Gordon, of Menlo Park. 1t is now dis
tributed into Marin, San Mateo, Santa
Clara, Sacramento, Sonoma, Santa Bar
bara and Los Angeles counties. 1t is
omnivorous and feeds on almost all
parts and trees, including acacia,
lemon, lime, orange, deciduous fruit
trees and rose bushes.
The insect when first born is so light
that it may be blown by the wind from
tree to tree and orchard to orchard. 1t
may also float on the water or will crawl
on the ground, or be carried in the
clothing of persons and not be seen on
account of its minute size. Birds and
bees may also carry it, but birds will not
eat it. Alsmall lace winged bug will eat it
and also species of moth Btasto6asis
iceryaella.
Trees must be kept clean and open to
sunlight and wind to guard against this
dreadful destroyer. He opposed cutting
off so much of the branches of the trees
infested, as it injured the tree. Re-
commended the planting of high conf
ferns trees around orange groves to pre-
vent the insect from being waited from
other groves. All these deadly insects
have been imported from abroad into
Florida and California. Of all kinds OF
insecticides he had found the greatest
success with kerosene emulsitied.
Whale oil soap will kill many kinds of
insects but is not equal to the white
scale. Potash and soda lye injure the
trees more than kerosene and do not kill
the insect SO we'll. Owing to the ex-
treme length Of the essay it is impos-
sible to reproduce it.
After the conclusion of the address,
the matter contained therein was dis.
cussed by Mr.. N. w. Blanchard, B. M.
Lelong, of San Gabriel, w. G.. Klee,
State Entimologist ior inspector) and
Messrs. Wilcox, Boyd, Kimball, Black.
Cutter and Ogden. DR.. O. P. Chubb, of
Orange, made an excellent speech re-.
commending increasing diligence. He
thought spray could be made cheap
and also effective, but it required un-
ceasing attention to exterminate the
pest After the discussion the meeting
adjourned to meet socially in the even

Away back in a corner of wheel
wright's shop stood an old hack with a
fractured axle, propped on trestle. It's
queer, faded curtains dropped painfully
low. Near the street door in full gaze of
passers-by was proud brougham in all
the glory of ebony polish and the vanity
of big crest. Even its tongue was
stuck up. Other vehicles, too, were
there, but they lived close to the walls,
as they had no chance at rivaling the
beauty of their aristocratic leader. And
the wheelwright was proud of his IA
vorite, for it reflected much credit
on him. The old hack was sad looking,
indeed, but it was not at the supremacy
of the brougham, but at its own decay.
Once the wheelwright came along and
gave it a shake. Poor old hack it nearly
tumbled off its springs. The brougham
laughed at its feeble condition, and with
patronizing air toward yellow-bodied
dayton wagon sarcastically remarked it

AS TO SAUSAGE.
Some Succulent, Salubrious, Sapient, Sea-
sonable Suggestions, Succinctly Stated.

Some Succu1ent, Salubrious, Sapient, sea-
sonable Suggestions, Succinctly Stated.
The sausage season is upon US.
What that season is, is known only to the
perpetrators of the concOCtion, as also to them
only is known what sausage itself really is
The sausage season may be pepper or it
may be something else.
1t may be as well to remark that the saus-
age itself, as well as its season, is upon us.
Not only upon US, but in US.
- Unlike the oyster. which opens its fall en-
gagement with great eclat and an advance in
price, the sausage enters our homes in a
calm, transformations manner, and insid-
iously ingratiates itself into our confidence
and digestive organs
Like the oyster, however, it takesa vaca-
ton in summer, and when the weather
begins to cool off and come inside to get
warm, it frequents once more the busy
haunts of men, and may be found infesting
the butcher-shop and the free-lunch counter.
In the summer the sausage is the missing
link
Why it should be absent from US in the
dog days is a subject worthy of the investi-
cations of the Concord School of Philoso-
ply, or any other dogmatic assembly.
The sausage is not gaudy dresser, yet it
In ever clad in garments which fit it like the
paper on the wall, if may be allowed to
introduce a new and striking smile, which
have just had copyrighted.
1t wears tight-ftting pants and vague,
restful look and shows to best advantage on
the breakfast table as a companion to the
eontemplative buckwheat cake.
The sausage is a sensitive, thin-skinned
animal, of pale-brown disposition, and it
is not at all ferocious in its aspect.
It is never necessary to muzzle it after it
Is killed.
Speaking of muzzles reminds me of dog
story / read in Seizer's Common Terriers"
or some such classic.
A certain dog, whose name is suppressed
out of respect for his friends, but for which
the appellation Carlo vail answer, had be-
come fond of another dog-an English pug
a resident in the same household. One day
the pug severed with his incisors larger
quantity of meat than he was able to masti-
cate, and in his endeavors to dispose OF it
managed to get it lodged in his throat. There
the meat stayed, defying all efforts to evict
it from its lodgings, until the pug in dis
gust, departed from this busy work-a-day
world.
Kind friends carried his corpse away, and
Carlo was inconsolable. Two days later, adish
of sausage was brought into the room where
Carlo was sitting, when the intelligent ami
NAL jumped up and manifested bis Joy at
the return of his comrade with joyful cries
of recognition. His bowls of delight could
be heard square away.
Those who witnessed the scene say they
never sausage thing in their life before;
and the incident shows that the brute crea-
ton is not stranger to the fine feelings
which are supposed by some to be monopo-
lied by human beings and police magistrates.
